Documentation: dt: net: Add binding doc for Keystone NetCP ethernet driver
The network coprocessor (NetCP) is a hardware accelerator that processes
Ethernet packets. NetCP has a gigabit Ethernet (GbE) subsystem with a ethernet
switch sub-module to send and receive packets. NetCP also includes a packet
accelerator (PA) module to perform packet classification operations such as
header matching, and packet modification operations such as checksum
generation. NetCP can also optionally include a Security Accelerator(SA)
capable of performing IPSec operations on ingress/egress packets.
Keystone SoC's also have a 10 Gigabit Ethernet Subsystem (XGbE) which
includes a 3-port Ethernet switch sub-module capable of 10Gb/s and
1Gb/s rates per Ethernet port.
NetCP Subsystem device tree layout looks something like below:
-----------------------------
NetCP subsystem(10G or 1G)
-----------------------------
|
|-> NetCP Devices -> |
| |-> GBE/XGBE Switch
| |
| |-> Packet Accelerator
| |
| |-> Security Accelerator
|
|
|
|-> NetCP Interfaces -> |
|-> Ethernet Port 0
|
|-> Ethernet Port 1
|
|-> Ethernet Port 2
|
|-> Ethernet Port 3
Common driver supports GBE as well XGBE network processors.
